DMN Blog: Lockerroom Report/Marion Barber: 'Tell `em, 'God bless''

[Dave_in-NC]

Is owens locker next to Barbers?

 

[NextGenBoys]

Marion's response is why I own a Barber, not Owens jersey.

 

[AMERICAS_FAN]

I am more concerned about the defense than I am the offense.

Why? The Defense has been playing very well since Phillips took it over from Brian Stewart, and since Romo came back and extended more drives to keep the edefene fresh.

I'm much more concerned about the OL, especially knowing they will be playing on a sloppy field in a loud, antagonistic enviroment. I'm also concerned that we still score more field goals than TDs when we get into the red zone.

THUMPER, what is it about the defense that makes you nervous, besides Ware being healthy for hte game?

 

[Idgit]

Sounds like Dave only got pantsed twice today.

:laugh2:

Also, can I take a minute to say that I'd be very proud of everyone on this board if we'd just stop talking about Pacman Jones at all anymore. He's a role-player on this team and gets way more attention than he deserves. This board and others like it are a barometer for the media as to what's interesting to our fanbase. "Turds float" is not a story I'm interested in reading about these next 3 weeks. If we can keep mention of Pacman to a collective minimum, maybe the story of this guy coming back will go away, and we won't have to hear about him unless he's doing something significant in uniform. Can I get an Amen?

I think there will be 5 keys to beating Pitt on Sunday :

(1) Our center (Gurode) simply must handle pitt's NT one-on-one. If he does, it will free up the backs to provide blitz support from the edges where Pitt is strongest. Barber will be needed for this support.

(2) I hope Garrett decided to use the run to set up the pass. This will favor our OL to wear down Pitt's DL as the game progresses. If Gurode holds his own, this will open up the running lanes to the outside. Guards will be able to pull more freely, thus allowing Dalals to attach nort-south and side-to-side.

(3) It will also help if Deion Anderson is part of the running gameplan. Everyone will be keying on Barber, but if Gurode holds his own, Anderson can be effective on those FB draw plays. Combined with a run-firstr gameplan, this will keep Pitt's defense off balance, force the backers/safeties to cheat in, and then it's "bombs away" with play action.

(4) Finally, Dallas needs to limit its mistakes on offense. Period! Pitt is great at getting turnovers and making pass-happy teams pay with INTs. Dallas simply must take that tempo under control. Using a run-first scheme (see above) will go a long way towards controlling the game and dictating to Pitt's secondary. If that happens they will be no match for Dallas' firepower on offense.

(5) Defense has to keep doing its thing, but I trust it will !

Notice how 4 of the 5 above are about the offense, and specifically Garrett's preparation?

Discuss!

I would really like to see us us more of that Two FB wishbone formation that we used to simply run over the Commanders. It seemed to be very effective.

One group of reporters took a run at Barber, and he offered nothing. Two more reporters chased him down again outside the training room. When told that we needed something to put on the news, Barber said: "Tell `em, 'God bless.'"

'nuff said.

Amen, Brother. And I put some stank on the Amen part. Done. Great post Idgit. Let's ride this thing, blast thru the potholes and enjoy every mile.

PacMan gets to play against Pitt?

and I hope they don't overload Barber, he's going to need some help against the #1 rushing D, they need to feed Choice the ball too

Yep. So we get 1.2 yds per punt return. After running fifty yards sideline to sideline.
